1.-THE DEACON,S DAUGHETEK.,,
Annie rixiey's heyv Play Gets a
Good send OFF at the Grand Inst


Bright, vivacious Annie Pixley led a large
audience through Il carnival of merriment at
the Grand last evening in her opening per
fortlance of ''The Deacons Daughter"
The play is a comedy in four acts. It does
not require anything of extraordinary literary
merit to suit the part of q soubretre, there
fore the author did not aspire to literary dis
tnction in its composition. At the same
time the piece gives evidence of skill in its
construction. 1t is better adapted for bring
ing into prominence Miss Pixley's talents
than the parts she has heretofore played.
Miss Pixiey has lost none OF her vivacity
since she was last seen here. and plays the
part of Ruth in THE Deacon's Daughter
with lively force and sprightly humor that
are charming in effect. 1t is fresh and
captivating impersonation which gives one a
very high appreciation of Miss Pixley's
dramatic ability and sense OF artistic appro-
priateness. Miss Pixley fesen bles Lolita in that
she can be funny without resorting to coarse
methods, and can excite merrftnent without
clownsh endeavors. The songs introduced
proved a pleasing part of the performance,
and Miss Plxley's singing OF the stub Song
and the Ethiopian melody ELECTED the hearth
est ehcores. She was called before the cur
tain at the end of every act Much com
mendation is due Mr.. Days impersonation of

Inspected.
Messrs Walcott e. Co., grain dealers, of
minneapolis, yesterday appeared before the
railroad commissioners and entered complaint
shat the Minneapolis s. Pacific company had
refused to furnish cars for the shipment of
grain from PainesvilIe. AT the invitation of
the commission General Manager Underwood
anu the general freight agent of the road
were present. Mr.. UnderW God said that the
company was furnishing no cars to haul
grain from that point, owing to complication
in the wheat trade growing out Of the compe-
tition between his road and the Manitoba.
The commission held that Woleott Co. were
entitled to cars and the company had no right
to refuse to furnish them, so long as the APP
plicants were willing to pay full tariff rates.
